Colonial war
Colonial war (in some contexts referred to as small war) is a blanket term relating to the various conflicts that arose as the result of overseas territories being settled by foreign powers creating a colony. The term especially refers to wars fought during the nineteenth century between European armies in Africa and Asia.
"Small war" redirects here. For the 18th century conflict between the Ottomans and Venice, see Ottoman–Venetian War (1714–1718).
